Bakoon Products SCL CAP-1005 D/A Converter

Bakun Products has created the CAP series, which produces a high-quality music life in a size that fits perfectly in a narrow space. In order to play all the music information even at low volume in a studio room that the neighbors are concerned about, Bakun Products' proud SATRI circuit technology is generously introduced.

Supports 192KHzFs / 24bit sampling data

The CAP-1005 is a D/A converter that supports 192KHz/24bit sampling data.

On the front panel, a lamp with a sampling frequency of 44.1 KHz to 192 KHz for digital signals is lit. CDs are 44.1KHz and DVDs are 48KHz. Frequencies above 88.1 KHz are high-resolution digital signals. Some old CDs have an equalizer on when recording. If the signal is played back as it is, the sound will be different from the original sound, but the CAP-1005 has a function to automatically detect it and correct the frequency response normally. When the function is active, the de-emphasis lamp is lit.

CD players, DVD players, etc. use coaxial RCA inputs or toslink optical inputs. Both support up to 192KHz/24bit signals. The analog output circuit does not use a general operational amplifier, but uses Bakun Products' proprietary SATRI circuit V12 to reproduce high-resolution sound sources with high accuracy.

The company's productsDigital Signal Selector CAP-1006You can switch between a total of 6 inputs, 3 coaxial RCA inputs and 3 toslink optical inputs. When connecting to a PC or other device, or when connecting via USB, you can enjoy high-quality high-resolution music by combining the USB/SPDIF converter USC-1001, which converts USB digital audio signals to SPDIF signals of linear PCM.

The power supply is 5V, the same as USB, so you can use a USB power adapter or mobile battery.
The products of the CAP series have the ability to be used even at the high end.

*Bakun Products will gradually change its logo and name to SCL (SATRI Circuit Laboratory). Thank you for your understanding.

Dramatic sound quality improvement with the addition of CAP-1006
A mobile battery is used as a power source to cut off common mode noise. First of all, the sound using the CAP-1005 alone is so powerful and relaxed that it is difficult to imagine from the small and lightweight construction, the grain quality of the high frequencies is good, and the texture of the voice and instruments is natural and cost-effective. However, if you add the CAP-1006 in front of this unit, it seems to have a jitter reduction effect, and the sound quality changes drastically. As if the veil has been lifted, the outlook of the sound field has improved, the auditory noise has been lowered, and the weak sounds such as breathing are clearly clear. The transparency is improved and the texture becomes more natural. In addition, the sense of depth and spaciousness of the sound field is expanded, making it much more vivid, and the instantaneous power and braking power are enhanced, resulting in a tremendously energetic sound. The CAP-1006 not only has the function of a digital selector, but also has the function of a jitter reducer. Even when using the USC-1001 to play a NAS high-resolution sound source, the CAP-1005 is recommended to be paired with the CAP-1006 because the addition of the CAP-1006 afterwards resulted in a dramatically more energetic and high-resolution sound.

Depict a dense sound image
It can be said that this unit is characterized by excellent sound transparency and depiction of high-density sound images. As for the tone, the high frequencies are clear, and the mid and low frequencies are warm and voluminous. Therefore, in the jazz trio played, there is no turbidity in the sound of the piano, and the sound grain is really beautiful. The afterglow of the recording spreads beautifully in the church, where it was recorded. The sound of the drums is also vivid, and the bass makes the feeling of playing with the fingers and the sound of the body clear. It is also characterized by the fact that the sound is beautifully maintained until the moment when the sound disappears, and it is presumed that this is because the DAC and the analog circuit (low-pass filter) in the subsequent stage are battery-powered. It can be said that it has excellent linearity of D/A conversion. In addition, I played a song with a female chorus and strings, and I was able to enjoy the rich overtones that are closer to DSD than PCM. This unit does not care about the playback genre, but the playback of classical music was particularly attractive. In addition, it seemed that the effect of the SATRI amplifier module was also demonstrated in this unit.
